You throw those words around without knowing what they mean. Let me know when you have decided to sacrifice a 200 member alliance, your alliance, to fulfill the defense of an incompetent ally.
And we come back to the idea that the great and might SNX would need to sacrifice itself, generally meaning to suffer greatly or die, in order to take on a sub 1 million alliance alongside multiple allies. I mean....really?

How precisely are you interpreting protection?
So it didnt apply here anyway, just like I thought. Thanks. -
No, we didn't ignore it. We canceled it to prevent the negative image of ignoring a treaty which was going to be canceled anyways. Thinking about it now, it would have been much worse to ignore it then cancel.
You are ignoring it. It has a 48 hour cancellation clause but until that it is mandatory. So for the next 35 hours you are failing to fulfill your treaty.

How....how...how does that warchest happen?

No forums for a month is not an excuse for not taking part in a war in my book. No forums for a day or two meaning you hold off on a declaration whilst you sort yourself out? That I can buy. But a forum is not a hard thing to establish. Temporary forums, even if just existing for a week or two is not a hard thing to co-ordinate. We have ingame alliance management features now that can act as a pseudo forum as well. By the time you have reached a month without forums, that is your negligence and not an excuse to back out of war.

To be frank, I am ashamed of my alliance. They clearly need to sharpen up, and get in shape. A performance like this is just not acceptable!

In fairness if you were facing IRON with only TOP (who set up a merry camp on Mount Peace in the Land of Mode) and MI6 who bailed some time ago, you might consider wanting out as well.Kicking and screaming in the back channels trying to get peace for yourself over your blocmates doesn't usually engender love and care from other alliances. Sparta as a whole still emits a grating sucking sound wherever it goes.

Its still happening on other sites with google ads, so I guess it is not fixed yet.
Installed an ad block in anycase now.

THis isn't limited to CN-I've installed adblock now but I was getting redirected from other sites so I guess the above explanation is the correct one.

Doubt it's going to be that temporary bro, Polar definitely has the capacity to strangle the lower tiers of those who oppress us. I never said we are winning, but I didn't say that Im not enjoying "losing" this war either. :smug:
Like the Emperor said so long as the Enemy wants a taste of our military industrial complex we will be happy to supply it. But what I find really amusing is the recent surge of anti-TOP posts by IRON ITT. Im not all that familiar with IRON aside from the fact it always dodges hard wars, but seems kind of hypocritical to attack TOP for qualities you have shown in much more excess within your alliance.Find me one war where at any point 70%of our alliance was in Peace Mode whilst our allies burned to death?
Oh that's right....you can't.
The suggestion IRON dodges hard wars is also completely off base-we've done our share of hard fighting. This "IRON dodges hard wars" rubbish is a fiction and a fantasy. You know we actually had a blazing fall out with TOP when we were allies because they wanted to run around tech raiding whilst IRON was still at war with Polar (and TOP nominally at war with them) just so they could get their tech reps? Yeah....some of us try hard in wars....some not so much.
As for winning, we've been down this road before. For a while it can feel for those in the bottom tiers that there is a role reversal and the losers are actually winning, but give it a month or two as the top level of your nations gets pushed lower and lower you eventually find that isn't the case. During the grudge war IRONs bottom tier, which I was a part of, felt like it was losing. 6 weeks later a nation of 5K NS was struggling to get in range targets on Polar.
-
Peace Mode is a strategy would be fine....as long as there is some sane and sensible strategy.
Kindly illuminate for me then why it was worth letting your allies completely lose their top tier before in the long term you actually bring out yours? I mean great, we take you down one at a time, nice and easy, no need to break a sweat....whats in it for you?
-
Go look at the dates of the last war than read the sanction race thread for the last month+ of that war. While IRON was growing TOP was fighting. Get some dignity and stop this crap please!
I suppose we are talking of the same TOP that couldn't pull its weight in the grudge war, through a hissy fit that IRON wasn't totally keen on earning their reps from you for them, threw another hissy fit when we even dared to open basic communications with you, and then treatied the fuck out of you the moment their other powerbases fell apart? We are well rid of them and you really picked the wrong friends.
But you know our fronts were over in all but name by the end of disorder, select history all you like and out of context numbers if it makes you feel warm and fuzzy. Truth is, TOP don't work for anyone but themselves and you know it, whilst you burn and burn and they sit in hippie watching your top tier sink to the low 30Ks, giving them a temporary advantage over the n00bs there so idiots like Tywin can pretend you are winning the war (cause I guess it feels like winning to win the odd ground battle on a newbie), you can continue to call it strategic. Just be aware that if they are strategic, you are the dumbest idiots to walk this earth because you actually put your troops on the line, which by this definition, isn't strategic.
-
I'm not usually a fan of these types of threads, but this has got to the one of the most severe cases of hypocrisy in all of Planet Bob. Not even a shred of dignity left in TOP I guess.
Been true for a while now.
Bottom line is, cutting through all the rubbish, TOP have never done their fair share in a war since I joined, and as a result are sliding further and further down the worlds estimation of them. Each war their stock gets less and less.

Had it happen on the game, and then when I came on here, so I gave up getting onto CN. Then it redirected me from another site, so I cleared my cookies and now seem able to get to the forums again. Not tried CN yet, and won't until someone can post an explanation or admin posts that a fix has been achieved.

Dude they declared peace. So no more fireworks for us.

Some damage stats to liven this thread up a bit.
Damage done to GPA nations
Chuletia 0
Nishibi 54,501.25
San Pedro 45,346.77
Earth Kingdom 53,104.55
Legoland 81,767.20
Total 234,719.77Damage done by GPA nations
Legoland 16,523.31
Earth Kingdom 374.74
San Pedro 4,139.99
Nishibi 907.83
Chuletia 436.63
Total 22,382.50
For reference, that consists of 3.5% of O ya Baby's NS, or about 2% when you look at his total loss of about 14KNS since the 27th of December. If the damage ratio's were to be maintained, destroying O ya Baby would cost GPA over 6 million NS, or over 1/4 of its total size.

missed a bold and my brain red the i before the th as bolded as well.Are you sure you're not missing one of the bolds?
talking point will differ Cordial either
I fail. -
I'm torn. On the one hand I want to welcome you to the front and enjoy marching with you.
On the other, you spelled Goliath wrong. -
Speak carefully, for your answer will have an impact on how hard I lobby our Council to keep you at eternal war, or whether I consider you to be somewhat civilised and worthy of existence.Who wants blood pudding anyways? Have you seen that stuff?
also, I have fresh tea, scones, and biscuits at my place though Rhiz, cymru, and crozier are in the midst of remodeling my nation so be careful where you step...
Scone as in cone, or Scone as in con? -
Look, we had the table laid out, the cake ready, the tea in the teapot, and we've had to sit and wait for ages. Now the food is cold, the tea is tepid, and all our efforts are wasted.
I'm sorry, but this just isn't good enough. None of you are going to get any pudding.

Given the Lulzist MK (as identified by you) merged into your bestest buds TOP, who are currently leaving NpO to burn at the hands of various non-lulzist (by your definition) alliances, and given that the non-Lulzist Sparta (as identified by you) were involved in trying to turn various non-lulzist alliances (again by your definition) against each other, is it possible that you are just talking rubbish?
Also please stop using faux-french badly translated from German to make political statements in Planet bob...it hurts. It physically hurts. -
No, its not. Its a bunch of words stuck in sentences.Keep reading. Or don't. It is just analysis.
As far as I can understand it, you are under a delusion that in the past raiding as kept at bay by some form of international norm, and wars were only for honest and just reasons.
Which isn't the case.
The only difference between DBDC and other raiding alliances is that DBDC don't set some false moral standard such as "5 nations or less isn't an alliance" or try and pretend that only the unaligned are valid targets. It really is that simple. No complicated theory of class or complex moral justification. No need for complex theories or collections of big words lumped into one post to try and seem clever, just a straightforward approach. -
Ok I've read this through three times.First, I am not a moralist. I am not arguing about raiding or wars. Traditionally, such issues have been regulated by the stabilizing influences of civilization, like the treaty web, by an automatic process. This is why lulzists usually cannot get anywhere, because they are rejected in an almost biological manner by civilization.
Thus we see that the traditions of our world help sustain stability and order. War and peace is conducted in a socially regulated manner. However, through exploitation and class supremacy DBDC has managed to act in an antisocial manner without immediate consequences.
What I am talking about is class warfare, not any moral issues (although those abound as well).
This post says precisely nothing of any value or meaning.

So in Tywin Lannister's world, the correct way to deal with a treaty partner invoking a treaty is to declare war on them for having the audacity to invoke a treaty.
If I had a treaty with any alliance he was in I would be cancelling out of self defense right now!
